Quilters Show and Tell

Leafy Quilt

Submitted by Rayne.

This is my entry for our local quilt shop competition. We could choose between three colour ways of a particular fabric. I chose the green for a wall hanging which I then had framed when it was finished. Every leaf is individually made by bonding black fabric to the back then machine stitching the leaf veins. I then machine appliqued the inner leaves to the base material, then hand stitched on the outer leaves.

Purple Quilt

Submitted by Rayne.

This is for another grand daughter. Her choice was for mainly purple with some brights. 

I again made 12 1/2' squares & joined them directly to each other without sashing. 

I tied the layers with multi-coloured embroidery thread instead of quilting. I think that matched the quilt style quite well.

Scrappy Quilt

Submitted by Rayne.

This is my favourite quilt. I made it out of material I had in my stash. The only material I bought was the binding. The blocks are really simple, 4 1/2' x 2 1/2' joined onto a 4 1/2' x 4 1/2' square then a 6 1/2' x 2 1/2' down the side. Makes a 6 1/2' square, I joined 4 of these together to make a 12 1/2' block. The more random the better for a scrap quilt. [The blue is the curtain it's displayed on]

 

Black and White

Submitted by Rayne.

This is for my teenage grandaughter. Her request was for a black & white puffy quilt. I made 20x12 1/2' blocks but split 4 to get the large yin yang in the middle.
